The university is great and very modernised, the lecturers are very attentive and the halls are very large. There is a great on campus club for socialising and two large libraries on each campus which are open 24 hours per day. The university is also only 20 minutes from London and in a small but very lively town. I would 100% recommend this university to anyone wanting to...
